Description:
Lutein is a xanthophyll isolated from the herbs of Tagetes erecta. It is isomeric with zeaxanthin thus has similar properties as zeaxanthin. Lutein exhibits antioxidant, antimutagenic and anti-tumor effects, and has the potential to treat macular degeneration. Lutein can be used in food additive. Lutein has antioxidant activity, which can protect skin cells well, make skin cells resist oxidation from the very beginning, stay away from the harm of free radicals, play a strong role in whitening, freckling, wrinkling, moisturizing, increasing skin elasticity, improve skin luster and smoothness, and delay skin aging.
